These are a few of the fish you can catch on your fishing trip to Daytona Beach.
Panfish
This general term describes a number of different species like spotted sunfish, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, sunfish, or warmouth. These fish can be good targets for many young anglers who are using worms, popping bugs, and spinnerbaits.
Grouper
This is the generic name for several deepwater bottom-dwellers that are important to both recreational and commercial fishermen. Red grouper and gag grouper are most popular with anglers. During the cooler months, they can be caught in shallow water by trolling artificial lures.

Daytona Beach, Florida Fishing Seasons
The subtropical climate of central Florida is best enjoyed in the spring before temperatures get too hot and before the rainy season.
January
Fish don’t digest food as quickly in the cold, so they don't need to eat as often. But you can still get some decent fishing done during the Florida winter.
February
Drop anchor from your Daytona Beach fishing charter into some of the deeper areas. Lots of fish swim deeper in the colder months so that they can find warmer water.
March
The temperatures on land and sea slowly start rising in March and more fish can be found in the Daytona Beach area.
April
The waters start warming up, so lots of fish start eating more, which is great news for anglers.
May
The weather in Daytona Beach starts getting predictable, with clear mornings and possible afternoon rains.
June
Summer days in Daytona Beach are perfect for fishing. The warm sunny days are cooled by ocean breezes and the water is bright blue and clear.
July
Every fish species is voraciously feeding and ready to take your bait in the warm July water.
August
High temperatures, both in and out of the water, are the norm in August. Get out on the water early, before daybreak.
September

October
October is the best month to sail your Daytona Beach fishing charter and simply enjoy the Florida weather.
November
The fall patterns are starting up and temperatures start cooling a little more.
December
Temperatures are cooler in the mornings and evenings, but late afternoon trips are still pleasant at this time of year.
